Right, I suggested adding it to the existing file since the
functions are logically related, but the naming of that file
identifiers in it is unfortunate:

__iowrite32_copy/__iowrite64_copy/__ioread32_copy sound like
they are meant to work on both IORESOURCE_MEM and IORESOURCE_IO
mappings the same way that iowrite64/ioread64/ioread32 do,
but actually using them on x86 port I/O (from pci_iomap or
ioport_map) would lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
